Winston Churchill

The topic for my research paper is Winston Churchill and his great impact on the world. My interest in him started in the summer before Eighth Grade. I was in London with my family, and I saw many statues of him around the city. Since then I have wondered who he was and what he did that made him so famous in Great Britain.
In his day, Churchill was many different things. He held many positions and earned many titles. One of his first notable offices and titles was the first lord of the Admiralty during World War I or in a clearer sense the commander of the Royal Navy. In this post, he led a campaign that failed terribly and cost the allies many ships and men. Later in his life, he became for what the world knows him for. He became the Prime Minister of Great Britain during World War II. He led the British people to victory. Another thing he is known for is his "Sinews of Peace" speech; in this speech, Churchill talked of the "Iron Curtain" that was spreading across Europe. The reason that this so important is because this speech started the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.
